Indigestion natural remedies Improper eating of food or poor mastication results in heartburn. Acid reflux or heartburn causes the flow of acid and the stomach contents into the oesophagus. Acidic foods, such as citrus juices and vinegar are avoided.
Spices and pickles are not recommended. Physical or emotional stress is important culprits of heartburn. Refined flour, alcohol and white wine are not recommended.
Masticating well and eating slowly helps in reducing the risk of heartburn. Heavy meals, especially before retiring to bed are avoided. Place your head on an elevated level, such as two pillows. Placing of a hot compress on the upper abdomen is useful in providing relief. Bananas are natural antacids. Ground and dried bananas are also equally effective. Sipping a glass of water with few drops of clove oil is an excellent heartburn reliever. Licorice is also effective, though not recommended for hypertensive individuals. Freshly grated ginger is helpful for indigestion and is stored with honey and consumed everyday. Digestion is triggered by turmeric powder and is therefore added in Indian cuisines. Chamomile tea is a home remedy that provides instant relief from indigestion.
